PREFACE  TO  THE  SECOND  EDITION. 


Since  this  Bibliography  was  printed  in  1899,  many  of  the  books 
have  been  obtained  the  titles  of  which  had  been  found  only  in 
sale  catalogues  or  newspaper  advertisements. 

Examination  of  these  books  has  shown  that  some  of  the  titles 
recorded  were  imperfect  in  their  previous  descriptions,  and  some 
contained  errors  in  the  date  of  imprint.  In  addition  to  these  a 
number  of  books  have  been  seen  whose  titles  were  not  known 
when  the  earlier  edition  was  printed.  It  has  seemed  important, 
therefore,  to  record  these  new  titles,  and  to  correct  such  notices 
as  have  been  found  incomplete  or  imperfect. 

Notes  regarding  the  illustrations  in  these  books,  and  other  in- 
formation of  interest  to  the  reader,  have  been  incorporated  in  this 
edition. 

One  hundred  and  seventy-four  numbers  have  been  added,  one 
hundred  and  thirty  of  which  are  new  titles  or  editions.  Thirty  of 
these  only  were  printed  before  the  year  1800,  the  remainder  being 
largely  society  notices,  town  reports,  and  similar  evidences  of  the 
enlarging  activities  and  the  centralizing  influences  of  the  town  of 
Worcester. 

These  corrections  and  additions  have  been  gathered  together 
in  the  Addenda  in  place  of  revising  the  body  of  this  work,  and  an 
examination  of  the  Index  will  disclose  references  to  the  location 
of  both  the  original  titles  and  the  corrections  which  have  been 
found  necessary.

Introduction 


A  RENEWED  interest  is  awakening  in  local  history.  Many 
of  our  towns  and  cities  have  had  chroniclers  whose  duties 
have  been  performed  with  greater  or  less  success  accord- 
ing to  their  ability  or  the  facilities  at  their  command. 

But  the  chronicle  stage  in  historical  writing  has  passed 
in  this  country,  and  we  have  reached  the  period  which 
demands  a  fresh  investigation  of  the  facts  recorded.  The 
historical  method,  so  universally  applied  to  all  questions 
at  the  present  time,  demands  a  minute  search  for  facts  and 
the  conditions  bearing  upon  them,  and  extreme  accuracy 
in  their  statement.  Indeed,  wherever  we  turn,  personal 
research  is  found  to  be  the  method  now  employed  whether 
in  literature,  science  or  the  arts. 

It  is  the  discovery  of  the  inaccuracies  of  the  past,  in  con- 
sequence of  this  tendency  to  investigate,  which  is  respon- 
sible for  the  awakening  of  interest  in  historical  study,  and 
in  local  history  in  particular,  which  is  conceded  to  be  the 
foundation  of  general  history. 

In  this  reaching  after  accuracy,  no  means  is  too  trivial, 
no  source  too  humble  to  be  neglected.     Newspapers  are 


vi  Bibliography  of  Worcester, 


scanned,  play-bills  and  advertisements  are  studied ;  ser- 
mons, addresses  and  reports  give  up  their  treasures  to  the 
student  in  the  search  for  the  truth  of  date,  fact  and  opinion. 

Local  bibliography  therefore  becomes  a  distinct  aid  in 
this  method  of  research,  and,  while  it  has  not  yet  taken  its 
true  place,  the  time  is  now  approaching  when  it  will  be 
estimated  at  its  real  value.  No  argument  is  required  to 
show  the  importance  of  a  permanent  and  accessible  form 
for  town  records  and  for  the  early  documents  of  settlement 
in  this  new  country.  Great  pains  is  now  being  taken  to 
the  end  of  preserving  these,  and  placing  them  within  easy 
reach  of  the  future  historian.  But  in  addition  to  these 
statements  of  the  official  life  and  growth  of  a  town  there 
are  many  occurrences  which  fail  of  notice  in  such  records. 

Broadsides,  almanacs,  addresses  and  sermons  reflect  the 
opinions  of  the  times,  and  are  as  important  witnesses  of 
progress  as  the  more  formal  town  record  and  municipal 
and  court  document.  Indeed,  these  precede  the  more  elab- 
orate record  and  document,  and  are  of  great  value  in  conse- 
quence, as  showing  the  earlier  steps  in  the  formation  of 
public  opinion  and  the  beginnings  of  public  movements. 
It  is  here  that  the  bibliography  of  our  principal  towns  may 
be  of  great  value.  Not  only  do  we  find  reflected  in  its 
pages  all  national,  state  and  local  crises,  as  well  as  the  less 
serious  occasions  of  interest,  but  the  religious,  educational, 
literary  and  social  growth  of  the  town  are  represented  by 
the  titles,  and  may  be  studied  within  the  pages  of  the 
books  recorded  in  such  collections.  Dates  of  all  occur- 
rences, so  important  for  historical  accuracy,  are  settled 
beyond  peradventure  by  reference  to  the  titles  or  contents 


Introduction,  vii 


of  the  various  volumes  and  pamphlets  thus  catalogued. 
It  is  not  every  town  that  has  had  its  printing  press,  but 
even  these  less  favored  places  will  find  in  the  larger  cen- 
tres to  which  they  are  tributary,  data  from  which  facts, 
occurrences  and  records  may  be  verified. 

Nearly  one  hundred  years  passed  in  the  history  of  the 
town  of  Worcester  before  a  press  was  set  up  within  her 
borders,  and  we  must  look  to  the  printers  of  Boston  for 
records  of  our  previous  history.  In  1775,  however,  after 
several  years  of  solicitation,  a  printing  press  was  estab- 
lished here,  and  Worcester  became  the  fifth  town  in 
Massachusetts  with  that  means  of  progress  and  enlighten- 
ment. This  press  was  brought  to  us  most  opportunely, 
by  a  man  singularly  fitted  for  his  work ;  and  ISAIAH 
Thomas  should  receive  from  Worcester  gratitude  and  re- 
spect, not  only  for  his  own  labors,  but  also  for  the  position 
which  his  reputation  won  for  our  town  in  the  esteem  of  the 
country. 

It  would  be  impossible  to  see  in  the  earnest  patriot  of 
1775,  or  in  the  vigorous  man  of  affairs,  with  strong  con- 
victions upon  every  public  question,  of  1790,  or  in  the 
cultured  writer  of  the  History  of  Printing  of  18 10,  that 
boy  of  six  years,  who,  with  but  six  weeks'  attendance  at 
a  village  school,  was  in  1755  apprenticed  to  Zechariah 
Fowle.  of  Boston. 

The  tattered  dictionary  and  the  ink-stained  Bible  which 
he  found  in  that  office  started  him  in  his  career,  and  the 
printing  press,  together  with  an  invincible  determination 
to  excel  in  his  calling,  carried  him  onward,  until  he  stands 
to-day  with  Franklin  and  Baskerville,  a  type  of  the  man 


via  Bibliography  of  IVorcester, 


who  with  few  educational  advantages  succeeds  because  he 
loves  his  art  for  the  art's  sake. 

It  is  not  my  intention  to  give  an  analysis  of  his  work, 
but  it  may  not  be  improper  to  call  attention  to  a  few  of 
the  books  which  his  enterprise  and  industry  gave  to  us. 

The  first  book  printed  in  Worcester  is  made  up  of  evi- 
dence gathered  by  the  Provincial  Congress  at  Watertown 
to  show  that  the  aggressive  was  taken  by  the  British  troops 
at  Lexington,  and  copies  were  sent  to  King  George  III. 
and  his  ministers  to  prove  that  important  fact.  Copies 
were  also  sent  to  the  Governors  and  Congresses  of  the 
other  Provinces  to  show  the  justice  of  our  cause,  and  the 
necessity  for  immediate  and  united  action.  Truly,  this 
book  fraught  with  so  great  a  destiny,  is  a  noteworthy  be- 
ginning of  the  literature  of  Worcester  ! 

In  1785  Isaiah  Thomas  began  to  reprint  a  series  of 
Juveniles  obtained  mainly  from  the  toy-books  of  Carnan 
and  Newbery  of  London,  which  delighted  the  hearts  of 
thousands  of  the  youth  of  New  England.  Many  of  these 
books,  while  preserving  the  main  features  of  the  original, 
were  altered  in  text,  and  often  admirably  adapted  to  the 
necessities  of  their  new  purchasers. 

The  Bibles  printed  in  1791  and  the  years  following, 
were  a  striking  illustration  of  the  wonderful  sagacity  and 
untiring  energy  of  this  printer.  To  accomplish  the  end  in 
view  more  satisfactorily  he  brought  engravers  to  Worces- 
ter, erected  a  paper  mill  and  established  a  book-bindery. 
A  touching  proof  of  the  discouragements  with  which  he 
was  met  in  forwarding  this  work  is  evidenced  by  a  letter 
in  the  possession  of  the  writer,  in  which  he  says,   "  next 


Introduction.  ix 


week  I  begin  with  a  heavy  heart  to  print  the  Folio  Edition 
of  my  Bible." 

It  was  this  Folio  Bible,  the  examination  of  which  drew 
from  Benjamin  Franklin  his  involuntary  tribute  of  praise 
and  admiration. 

A  glance  at  the  list  of  books  printed  by  ISAIAH  THOMAS 
and  those  reprinted  by  him  from  the  English  press  will 
reveal  a  remarkable  range  of  subjects,  and  a  careful  se- 
lection of  the  best  books  of  the  day  upon  those  subjects, 
and  will  be  additional  proof  of  his  sound  judgment  and  his 
business  enterprise. 

These  and  many  other  undertakings  were  carried  out  at 
a  large  expenditure  of  time  and  money,  with  much  greater 
uncertainty  than  is  the  case  with  such  enterprises  at  the 
present  time.  These  works  were  forwarded  in  addition  to 
the  constant  burden  of  duties  as  printer,  publisher,  and 
often  the  largest  contributor  of  his  newspaper,  The  Massa- 
chusetts Spy,  the  standard  of  which  he  raised  so  high  that 
it  was  for  years  one  of  the  most  influential  papers  in  the 
United  States. 

Let  me  not  convey  the  impression  by  this  extended 
notice  that  the  first  printer  of  Worcester  was  the  only  one 
of  his  craft  in  this  town.  While  this  volume  is  in  a  meas- 
ure intended  as  a  memorial  of  his  work  in  Worcester,  subse- 
quent pages  will  show  a  long  list  of  worthy  followers  of 
Isaiah  Thomas  ;  indeed,  it  may  be  said  with  pride  that 
the  present  day  finds  more  than  one  successfully  following 
his  noble  example. 

Broadly  speaking  the  printing  of  the  town  of  Worcester 
may  be  classified  into  periods  as  follows : 


X  Bibliogmphy  of  Worcester, 

1.  1775  to  1800,  in  which  works  devoted  to  the  poH- 
tical  Hfe  and  educational  progress  of  the  country  are 
marked. 

2.  1800  to  1825,  in  which  we  find  the  growth  of  the 
controversial  spirit,  in  politics  partly,  but  mainly  in  the 
religious  life  of  the  people. 

3.  1825  to  1838,  in  which  the  religious  education  of 
youth,  and  the  anti-masonic  and  temperance  movements 
were  prominent. 

4.  1838  to  1848,  in  which  we  find  marked  the  publi- 
cation of  town  reports  and  the  multiplication  of  the  news- 
paper. 

In  each  of  these  periods  will  be  found  noteworthy  titles, 
but  this  preface  would  exceed  its  limits  were  more  par- 
ticular attention  given  them. 

The  sources  from  which  these  titles  have  been  taken 
include  the  large  library  of  the  American  Antiquarian 
Society,  that  of  The  Worcester  Society  of  Antiquity,  the 
Free  Public  Library  of  Worcester,  the  State  Library  of 
Massachusetts  and  the  Congregational  Library  at  Boston. 
The  Brinley  Catalogue,  that  of  Sabin,  and  innumerable 
sale  catalogues  carefully  scanned  during  the  past  six  years, 
have  furnished  titles  when  the  books  themselves  have  not 
been  available.  The  principle  was  laid  down  at  the  out- 
set that  titles  coming  from  these  two  sources  alone  were 
reliable,  and  it  will  be  found  that  few  exceptions  have  been 
made  to  this  rule.  To  this  list  may  be  added  books  and 
titles  sent  me  by  many  friends  of  this  undertaking,  and  I 
take  this  occasion  to  acknowledge  my  gratitude  for  their 
kind  assistance. 


Introduction,  xi 


My  acknowledgments  are  due,  in  particular,  to  Mr. 
Franklin  P.  Rice,  without  whose  ever-ready  aid  and  ex- 
tensive knowledge  of  local  history  this  work  would  not 
have  been  possible ;  to  Mr.  Edmund  M.  Barton,  the  kindly 
librarian  of  the  American  Antiquarian  Society,  and  Miss 
Mary  Robinson,  his  assistant,  whose  time  and  attention 
have  been  frequently  taxed  in  the  advancement  of  this 
book. 

In  a  pioneer  work  it  is  hardly  reasonable  to  expect  that 
a  full  list  of  the  printed  books  of  this  period  has  been 
obtained.  It  may  be  said,  however,  that  no  pains  has 
been  spared  to  render  this  work  as  complete  in  titles  and 
accurate  in  statement  as  is  possible  under  the  circum- 
stances. It  is  my  hope  that  something  of  interest  and 
of  value  to  Worcester  has  been  preserved  herein,  and  that 
to  this  Bibliography  may  be  applicable  those  words  placed 
by  its  founder  on  the  Certificate  of  the  American  Antiqua- 
rian Society, — Olim  meminisse  juvabit. 


Worcester,  December  22,  i8gg. 


EXPLANATORY. 

The  portrait  of  Isaiah  Thomas  is  taken  from  the  plate  used  in  Bucking- 
han^i's  Reminiscences,  and  the  head-  and  tail-pieces  are  copied  from  books 
printed  by  Thomas.  As  this  Bibliography  is,  in  so  large  a  degree,  a  memorial 
of  the  work  of  our  first  printer,  it  seems  not  inappropriate  that  these  and  the 
facsimiles  of  title-pages  should  be  confined  to  Isaiah  Thomas  and  his  pro- 
ductions. 

Titles  have  been  taken,  with  few  exceptions,  from  the  books  themselves  or 
from  catalogues.  The  few  exceptions  have  been  added  because  of  strong  cir- 
cumstantial evidence,  and  their  source  has  been  duly  recorded.  In  some  cases 
it  has  been  impossible  to  secure  the  first  edition,  and  the  title  has  been  taken 
from  the  second.  If  the  earlier  edition  is  met  with  later  slight  variations  may 
be  discovered. 

In  recording  the  sizes  of  these  books  the  folding  of  the  signatures  has  been 
followed  when  possible.  In  uncertain  cases,  or  those  of  especial  importance, 
the  exact  size  of  the  copy  seen  has  been  noted.  Much  difficulty  has  arisen  in 
consequence  of  the  carelessness  of  the  binder  in  trimming  margins,  and  in  ir- 
regularity of  folding  by  the  earlier  printers  on  account  of  scarcity  of  paper.  In 
the  later  years  the  table  of  sizes  has  been  employed  which  is  printed  in  the  last 
edition  (1897)  ^^  ^*  P*  Putnam's  Authors  and  Publishers. 

In  pagination  the  plan  has  been  to  separate  the  introductory  matter  from 
the  main  contents  of  the  book  without  following  the  subdivision  more  minutely. 
This  plan  was  adopted  because  the  books  recorded  are  more  modern,  and  there- 
fore more  easily  obtained  and  examined  than  those  of  the  earlier  century.  Among 
the  older  books  some  irregularity  is  found  through  carelessness  of  the  printer  or 
the  binder  by  misprinting,  misplacing  or  omitting  pages.  When  a  frontispiece 
is  present  it  is  ordinarily  counted  as  two  pages,  even  when  pasted  on  the  cover, 
as  is  the  case  with  the  Juveniles. 

Schema  :  All  numbers  inclosed  in  parentheses  represent  the  number  of  con- 
secutive pages  not  numbered  by  the  printer. 

-f-  following  the  number  of  pages  indicates  that  no  perfect  copy  could  be 
found. 

Vertical  lines  represent  the  principal  lines  in  the  title,  and  these  have  been 
recorded  only  in  the  books  printed  previous  to  1800,  and  a  few  more  important 
subsequent  titles. 

Each  dot  represents  a  line  in  the  title  omitted  because  of  too  little  importance 
to  elucidate  it.

f  Zabdiel  Adams,  i  739-1801,  was  graduated  from  Harvard  College  in 
1759,  He  was  pastor  of  the  church  in  Lunenburg,  Mass.,  from  1764  to  the 
time  of  his  death.  He  was  an  original  thinker  and  a  man  of  strong  char- 
acter. In  a  sermon  published  in  1772,  he  maintained  the  right  of  a  minister 
to  negative  the  proceedings  of  his  church.  In  consequence  of  the  accept- 
ance of  this  doctrine  several  ministers  lost  their  parishes.  He  was  a  cousin 
of  the  first  President  Adams,  and  at  one  time  complained  because  he  had 
not  studied  law  instead  of  divinity;  saying,  "Is  there  any  reason  why  I 
should  not  have  been  President  as  well  as  my  cousin  John?"

Honourable  |  General  Court,  |  of  the  |  Commonwealth  of

^  In  the  copy  at  A.  A.  S.  Library  verso  of  title-page  contains  a  letter 
recommending  this  petition  to  members  of  the  General  Assembly,  with  the 
autograph  signatures  of  O.  Holman  and  W.  Shaw. 

Samuel  Stearns,  m.  d.,  ll.  d.,  i  747-1809,  was  a  native  of  Lancaster, 
and  resided  in  Paxton  at  the  beginning  of  the  Revolution.  His  principles 
soon  brought  him  into  difficulty,  and  he  fled  to  New  York,  where,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  nautical  almanac  mentioned  in  the  note  to  No.  i,  he  prepared 
the  first  Materia  Medica  in  the  English  language  published  in  America. 
He  was  also  the  author  of  other  works.  On  his  return  to  Massachusetts,  in 
1783,  he  was  arrested,  and  was  confined  in  Worcester  Gaol  more  than  two

years,  his  case  exhibiting  a  remarkable  instance  of  patriotic  spite  and  perse- 
cution. On  his  release  he  went  to  England,  was  pensioned  by  the  King, 
received  titles  from  a  college,  and  was  honored  with  the  friendship  of 
Herschel  and  other  men  of  science.  Lincoln,  in  his  History  of  Worcester, 
characterizes  Stearns  as  an  "  astrologer,  almanac  manufacturer  and  quack 
by  profession,"  a  slur  which  seems  unmerited  unless  applied  to  all  of  similar 
pursuits  at  that  time.

\  "This  book  was  rather  hastily  compiled.  I  had  designed  to  have 
written  another  spelling  book  on  a  new  plan,  and  provided  some  materials 
for  that  purpose,  but  had  not  leisure  to  execute  the  work  whilst  I  continued 
in  the  printing  business. — I.  Thomas." 

"  Soon  after  publishing  this,  I  printed  and  introduced  Perry's  Spelling 
book,  which  after  it  was  new  modeled  had  what  booksellers  call  *  a  very 
good  run.'  " — MS.  notes  in  copy  at  A.  A.  S.  Library. 

In  another  note  Isaiah  Thomas  questions  if  the  Catechism  is  "  adapted 
to  the  capacities  of  young  children  "  !

were  issued  in  one  volume  having  but  two  title-pages,  the  one  given  above 
and  one  for  the  New  Testament,  with  no  directions  to  the  binder  or  list  of 
plates.  When  issued  in  two  volumes  the  first  title-page  was  repeated,  vary- 
ing only  in  the  words  Volume  ii.  There  seems  to  have  been  some  diversity 
in  the  place  of  division  of  these  volumes. 

At  the  bottom  of  the  last  page,  1012,  is  the  catch-word  an,  indicating 
another  page,  perhaps  with  An  Alphabetical  Table  of  Proper  Names,  as  in 
the  Quarto,  but  no  copy  has  been  found  containing  it. 

"  Previous  to  printing  this  Isaiah  Thomas  collected  nearly  thirty  copies 
of  the  Bible  printed  at  diflferent  times  and  places,  selected  the  most  correct 
and  used  them  for  revision.  Each  sheet  was  examined  by  Rev.  Aaron 
Bancroft  and  Rev.  Samuel  Austin  and  others,  and  compared  with  at  least 
eight  different  copies." — O'Callaghan.

^  This  Bible  was  issued  in  December,  1791,  on  the  same  day  as  the  first 
volume  of  the  Folio,  and  was  published  in  two  volumes.  It  varies,  how- 
ever, in  having  but  forty-eight  plates,  no  wood-cuts;  and  ornamental  let- 
ters at  the  beginning  of  the  divisions  only.  It  has  double  columns  separa- 
ted by  parallel  lines,  and  in  addition  to  the  general  title-page,  has  a  separate 
title-page  for  the  Old  Testament  containing  a  Hebrew  text,  and  one  for  the 
New  Testament  with  a  Greek  text.  The  proof  was  examined  by  Rev.  Joseph 
Avery  of  Holden.  This  Bible  was  sold  in  three  styles :  with  plates  and 
Concordance,  with  Concordance  alone,  and  without  plates  or  Concordance.

Hebrew  text,  and  that  of  the  New  a  Greek  text.  The  Bible  is  not  paged, 
but  contains  twenty-eight  signatures  in  the  Old  and  twelve  in  the  New  Tes-

Thomas  advertised  this  Duodecimo  or  the  Common  School  Bible,  to  be 
printed  on  beautiful  new  type  to  be  cast  particularly  for  the  purpose.  It 
is  called  Thomas's  Standing  i2mo.  Edition  because  the  type  was  not  dis-

^  This  was  the  first  public  effort  of  Levi  Lincoln,  and  marked  the  be- 
ginning of  a  distinguished  career.  The  Address  was  intensely  republican 
in  sentiment,  and  severe  in  its  arraignment  of  the  federalists. 

Levi  Lincoln,  Junior,  was  born  in  Worcester  October  25,  1782,  and 
graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  1802.  He  was  successively  a  State 
Senator,  Representative,  Speaker,  Lieutenant-Governor,  and  Judge  of  the 
Massachusetts  Supreme  Court.  He  served  as  Governor  from  1825  to  1834, 
and  as  a  Member  of  Congress  from  1835  ^o  1 84 1.  He  was  the  first  Mayor 
of  Worcester  in  1848.  He  died  May  29,  1868.  His  father,  Levi  Lincoln, 
senior,  was  a  member  of  President  Jefferson's  cabinet,  and  filled  other  high 
positions.

^  This  oration  passed  through  many  editions.  The  author  was  a  versa- 
tile, forcible  and  elegant  writer  and  speaker.  He  was  born  in  Providence, 
Rhode  Island  in  1771,  and  died  at  Milton,  Massachusetts,  in  1832.  He 
was  graduated  at  Brown  University  in  1791,  and  after  several  years  of 
mercantile  life  entered  the  diplomatic  service;  was  charge  d'affaires  at 
London  after  the  departure  of  the  American  minister  in  181 2,  minister  at 
Stockholm  in  1814,  and  one  of  the  commissioners  who  signed  the  treaty 
at  Ghent  in  181 5.  After  his  return  to  this  country  he  resided  in  Mendon, 
Massachusetts,  and  was  a  Member  of  Congress  from  the  Worcester  District 
in  1821-3.  His  political  future  was  ruined  by  his  connection  with  the  at- 
tempt to  overthrow  John  Quincy  Adams  in  his  advance  to  the  presidency.

Samuel  Brazer,  noted  as  a  wit  and  satirist,  was  born  in  Worcester 
in  1785  and  died  at  Baltimore,  Maryland,  in  1823.  He  did  not  receive  a 
collegiate  training,  but  through  his  natural  talent  became  one  of  the  most 
effective  newspaper  writers  of  his  time.  His  contributions  to  Tke  National 
^gis  gained  for  that  journal  a  high  reputation.  He  was  frequently  called 
upon  to  deliver  political  orations :  the  above,  his  first  effort,  at  the  age  of 
eighteen,  was  very  popular  with  his  associates  of  the  Jeffersonian  party. 
He  studied  law  but  abandoned  that  profession,  and  subsequently  became 
editor  of  The  Baltimore  Patriot,

\  This  publication,  the  first  pretentious  work  of  its  kind  in  America,  is 
very  valuable  for  its  account  of  the  previous  and  contemporary  state  of  the 
art  of  printing  in  this  country,  many  facts  known  only  to  its  author  being 
included.  A  second  edition,  with  certain  modifications,  and  a  list  of  ante- 
revolutionary  books  by  Dr.  S.  F.  Haven,  Jr.,  was  published  in  1874  by  the 
American  Antiquarian  Society,  as  volumes  v.  and  vi.  of  its  Transactions. 

Isaiah  Thomas,  the  large  and  valuable  list  of  whose  printed  works  forms 
the  basis  of  this  Bibliography,  was  born  in  Boston  January  19,  1749,  and 
died  at  Worcester  April  4,  1831.  At  the  age  of  six  years  he  was  appren- 
ticed to  Zechariah  Fowle,  a  Boston  printer,  and  remained  with  him  until, 
in  1766,  in  consequence  of  a  quarrel  with  his  master,  the  lad  ran  away, 
and  during  the  next  three  or  four  years  worked  in  different  places,  from 
Halifax,  Nova  Scotia,  to  Charleston,  South  Carolina.  In  1770  he  returned 
to  Boston,  and  with  Fowle  established  The  Massachusetts  Spy,  which  soon, 
through  the  ability  and  fearlessness  of  Thomas,  became  the  most  powerful 
organ  of  the  Whig  cause.  He  became  sole  proprietor  of  the  paper,  and 
in  April,  1775,  on  the  eve  of  hostilities,  removed  it  to  Worcester,  where 
its  publication  is  still  conducted.  After  the  Revolution  Mr.  Thomas  en- 
gaged in  the  most  extensive  printing  and  publishing  business  on  this  con- 
tinent, having  at  one  time  in  operation  seven  presses  in  Worcester  and 
five  in  Boston.  Besides  the  Spy  he  was  concerned  in  the  publication  of 
other  papers  and  The  Massachusetts  Magazine.  He  retired  from  active 
business  in  1802.  In  181 2  he  founded  the  American  Antiquarian  Society, 
which  he  endowed  with  books  and  property.  He  was  a  member  of  sev- 
eral learned  societies,  and  received  the  degrees  of  Master  of  Arts  and 
Doctor  of  Laws.     Franklin  styled  him  the  Baskerville  of  America.

^  The  name  of  Thomas  was  omitted  from  the  heading  of  this  paper  in 
October,  1810,  when  the  S/>jy  was  leased  to  James  Elliot,  a  former  mem- 
ber of  Congress,  for  a  term  of  years,  by  Isaiah  Thomas,  Jr.,  who  had  pub- 
lished it  from  the  time  he  succeeded  to  his  father's  business.  The  lease 
to  Elliot  was  rescinded  in  February,  181 1,  his  political  views  not  being 
acceptable  to  the  Federalists  of  this  vicinity.  From  August,  1812  to  Octo- 
ber, 1814,  the  paper  was  published  by  Isaac  Sturtevant,  and  "William 
Manning  succeeded;  but  the  real  ownership  probably  remained  with  the 
senior  Thomas  until  1819,  when  he  sold  the  paper  to  William  Manning 
and  George  A.  Trumbull.  Thomas's  name  was  restored  in  181 1  and  re- 
mained until  1 82 1,  and  Worcester  Gazette,  adopted  as  part  of  the  title  in

^  A  monthly  Magazine  intended  to  contain  historical  information  re- 
garding the  United  States,  and  Worcester  County  in  particular.  The 
Magazine  was  established  and  conducted  by  William  Lincoln  and  Chris- 
topher C.  Baldwin,  and  they  were  assisted  by  competent  writers  in  the 
vicinity,  some  of  whom  were  members  of  the  Worcester  County  Histor- 
ical Society,  which  was  formed  about  this  time,  and  existed  a  few  years, 
its  books  and  other  possessions  being  finally  turned  over  to  the  American 
Antiquarian  Society.  The  first  number  of  the  Magazine  was  printed  in 
June,  but  probably  was  not  published  until  October,  as  the  second  was 
dated  November.

\  This  Magazine  was  published  monthly  until  May,  1840,  and  bore  on 
its  title-page  from  the  October  number  the  name  of  Elihu  Burritt,  Editor 
and  Proprietor. 

Elihu  Burritt,  181 2-1 881,  called  by  Edward  Everett  "The  Learned 
Blacksmith,"  came  to  Worcester  in  1838  to  study  the  Oriental  languages 
in  the  library  of  the  American  Antiquarian  Society.  He  remained  here 
until  1846,  working  at  the  forge  eight  hours  a  day,  studying,  writing  and 
lecturing.  The  Literary  Gemina  was  his  first  venture,  but  did  not  prove 
a  financial  success.  His  interest  was  then  turned  to  philanthropy  and  the 
question  of  international  peace;  and  The  Olive  Leaves  and  his  weekly 
papers.  The  Christian  Citizen  and  The  Bond  of  Brotherhood,  evidenced 
his  activity  in  this  great  cause.  He  was  a  man  of  indomitable  will  and  un- 
resting energy,  and  his  extensive  writings  show  great  force  and  versatility.
